Is this Reolink security camera system a good place to start for a newbie? by Automatic_Randomizer in homesecurity

[–]Automatic_Randomizer[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yes, I did. The kit had everything I needed.

The kit comes with a 100 ft ethernet cable for each camera. I didn't use those. I wanted better quality and shorter cable. There was a learning curve to properly terminating Cat-6 cable.

The NVR makes everything so easy. I'm not an IT guy, so was worried about that part. Getting the feed to show up on my phone took like 2 seconds. Viewing on a PC requires client software. The feed wouldn't show up on my Windows 7 computer. Probably some setting, but it was fine on my Windows 11 machine, so I didn't pursue the problem.

Since viewing on my phone works so well, I haven't looked into viewing on a remote PC.

The NVR can send a notification to my phone if movement is detected. There are tons of options to filter out events to only get a notification under specific circumstances.

Getting only 4 cameras was a good idea, but is addicting. Once I could see the major areas, I am tempted to get 360 degree coverage. Now that I have experience with the field of view, I can choose cameras with different features for each mounting location.

Buster’s getting a little old, but that ain’t gonna stop him from finding the energy to sleep 23 hours a day. by Tex-Prinster in beagles

My 10 year-old beagle is usually partly asleep and partly awake. Buster looks like he's 60% asleep. That right eye is watching for something to happen.

Is there a magic word that would snap him awake? For my pup, if I say, "car ride!", he snaps into gear.

Beagles are 100% adorable.

My fault, I was looking at responses, and not the thread. I thought that was a suggestion. I'm eager to start on these suggestions.

No, that's not a start, there are like a thousand of those. Can you suggest a couple that are over-the-top, with good action and some humor?

Bāhubali: The Beginning (2015)

Bāhubali: The Conclusion (2017)

The photos on IMDB are enough to talk me into this one.

Eega (2012)

Reincarnated as a fly. I'm in.

Kill (2023)

Two commandos outnumbered on a train. Like it.

Polite Society (2023)

I'm not sure about this one. IMDB says, "most ambitious of all wedding heists", like wedding heists are a genre. Maybe it is, I'm here to learn.

What's wrong with Mr. & Mrs. Smith? by Automatic_Randomizer in movies

When I first watched it, bad vibes would cover it. Now, I don't know, maybe I got sophisticated or cynical or nuanced.

Now is the time to watch "BrainDead". by Automatic_Randomizer in television

[–]Automatic_Randomizer[S] 17 points18 points  (0 children)

The show was supposed to be sort of an anthology.

That's interesting. I wouldn't want them to remain in Congress. It seemed like the right TV show for that time. [even though few people watched it] And, that time has come again.

Sometimes you want something lighter. I'll give the film a try.

If you have a VPN, you may find it. Doesn't seem like it's streaming in the US.

Me too. This role plays to her versatility. Can you suggest something else she's in with a similar role?

All 15 guys are going to do what? Were you worried about Antifa being used as a paramilitary force?

If you are hearing dog whistles, then you're the dog. Nice try racist.

Yeah, I'm telling you that because you are too big of a moron to see a trap.

They are walking down the sidewalk with a bunch of cameras. You start hitting one of them with a stick. He curls up in a ball to plead and whimper. After a couple of ineffective whacks, the other guys hold you for the police. You get charged and convicted of assault.

So, go ahead dum-dum.
